FAQ:

A: Some devices are not capable of playing Coursera video by default. You should install external video player to overcome this issue. For instance you should be fine with Mobo player.
Q: I cannot log in.
A: Try log out and then log in again. Alternatively try reinstall the application. As a last resort you should try to change your password for Coursera account.
Q: How can I attach subtitles for external player streaming video?
A: Find "Open subtitles" option in your favourite player and add subtitles from sdcard->Android->data->com.realex->files->cache, here you should select required course and week.
Q: I cannot load course contents.
A: If your internet connection is slow (the real speed in current circumstances), sometimes you won't be able to load course list at the first time. Just hit Refresh and courses should be loaded.
